ark Mitchell prepares the nodosaur. You can see the bands of little armoured plates (light colour) and the bands of preserved scales of the skin in between (darker). Copyright: Dr Donald Henderson and the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology.

If the dinos had not been made extinct and continued to change, developing larger brains, think what intelligent life on earth would look like now! ... *X-files music* Reptiloids anyone?

I'm not into dinosaurs, but the phrase "armored dinosaur" produces pics about all looking like this;

Plesiosaur:
Ichthyosaur:
Quite a difference and can't see any armor plates.
Nodosaur, on the other hand:

“The least likely type of dinosaur to venture into water would have been a squat, heavily built and armoured, slow-moving anklyosaur.”
“anklyosaur”, so named because he’d only go into the water up to his anklys....

Yup, with a good ‘plastic’ surgeon’s work, she looks almost human! ... I wonder, is she from one of those four species which are ‘visiting’ the Earth? LOL

I always liked those and the swimming ones when we played with our plastic dinosaurs.

The Royal Tyrrell Musem has the best collection of Dinosaur fossils in the world. It also houses the Burgess shale collection. It is sort of out in the middle of nowhere but if you are up in that area, a visit is well worth the miles.
As I stood viewing one of the full size exhibits, a Stegosaurus, an old gentlemen walked up and after taking in the exhibit said “It’s hard to believe they hunted those with only spears.”

Then there's the Hillarius Canklyosaurus, so named because of its unusually fat anklys.

I’ve been to the Tyrrell museum. Yes, it’s grand.
If you have an interest in Tertiary megafauna, the University of Nebraska has a museum devoted to them, and I think it’s even better than the Tyrrell museum.
